run the following PowerShell script to assign several required permissions to the App Service managed identity. Required permissions follow the least-privilege principle and include the following:

Graph API / Permissions name

Access Granted by Permissions

Used By

AuditLog.Read.All

Read audit log data

App Service Managed Identity

Group.Read.All

Read group data

App Service Managed Identity

GroupMember.ReadWrite.All

Read and write group memberships

App Service Managed Identity

User.Read.All

Read user profile

App Service Managed Identity

Reports.Read.All

Read report data

App Service Managed Identity

Organization.Read.All

Read organization information

App Service Managed Identity

The above permissions have been added to the script's PermissionsToAdd parameter, shown below. In addition to adding the permissions, you need to enter values for these parameters:

  • tenantID — Your Tenant ID

  • appServiceObjectID — Object ID of the SCIM App Service

Tip

When running the script, be sure to authenticate to Azure as a user with adequate permissions to execute it in Azure AD (owner at the tenant level).
